Hi everyone, I have grown some sweet peas and on reading blogs and questions on here, I notice that you pinch the tops off the sweet pea, is this necessary, and what is the purpose, I have never done this before, I have always grown sweetpeas, don't mean to sound naive but I am a novice gardener and just wondered why. Many thanks

Yes, it encourages the side shoots to grow and you'll end up with a bushier plant.
